    @BlizzardCS of my junk back low and behold I see I don't have my origins skins, and I can't even buy them back either nor would I like too, so while trying to fix this issue I re-downloaded overwatch onto my ps4 to which my origin skins are present, I think I've finished the issue, 2/3

  • Devileddie Eddie (@Devileddie) reported

    @BlizzardCS please sort out your ranked tiers on overwatch 2. You have to lose 20 games to go down a tier and win 7 to go up a tier. I have 1 7 games 4 times now and you refuse to put my tier up. Please fix this

  • Carldenn_ 𝓛𝓮𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓶𝓪𝓻 𝓟. 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮 (@Carldenn_) reported

    I just want to play valo and overwatch 2 but the lag isn't letting me play. Oof

  • KuletXCore KuletXCore (@KuletXCore) reported

    @CuppaYT @Azaleane_ @Stylosa But the problem is... Siege doesn't let you switch operators on the fly. Overwatch does.

  • Swiftslayer99 swiftly (@Swiftslayer99) reported

    @BlizzardCS please fix the voice chat bug for crossplay on overwatch please

  • AlexjRod00 moon_light (@AlexjRod00) reported

    @battlenet hey I’m a new overwatch 2 player I’m trying to sign in to battle net but the system keeps saying something whoops went wrong what do I do? I closed my game and I still have the same problem

  • fromsaltwater ⛓️ 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐤, 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐧 ⛓️ (@fromsaltwater) reported

    the problem with overwatch skins is that you are expected to pay $20-$30 for a new model that you can't even really see in-game. You only see their hands and the gun. It's not really worth it and probably is the reason most other FPS games focus on gun skins and not characters.

  • zorn1220 Raging Roadrunner (@zorn1220) reported

    Hey @PlayOverwatch please fix your ranked system. There is no reason for me to get demoted after 7 wins at Silver. Especially after being Plat or Diamond in Overwatch 1.

  • Astral_Ailyn ➳Ailyn➳ (@Astral_Ailyn) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I still cannot access overwatch and have been trying since yesterday, I’ve looked everywhere and so many others are having the same LC-202 issue. Any idea when this will be sorted? Or any temporary fixes?

  • Gppster gppie (@Gppster) reported

    MW2 and Overwatch needs to fix SBMM it's not fun at all the teams are completely ****** never ever close to balanced most of the time.

  • Mr_fantasic Kiece 🪂 (@Mr_fantasic) reported

    Problem with healers in overwatch is that they dont pick their heals based of what their team has, or the enemy team has. If we have full dive, you should not be playing ana or bap. Healers sell so many games because they don't understand game mechanics

  • Countdown_Chaos 💀 Chaos 💀 (@Countdown_Chaos) reported

    So, for anyone experiencing issues, discord is down for many. Down detector is having issues, I can't connect to the RTM server in DBD, and I can't load twitch or reddit. Not sure if it's a canadian server issue or what, but y'know thank god overwatch is working. Wtf

  • exghts_ paul, the creator (@exghts_) reported

    i fr have to restart my pc before i play overwatch or it’ll lag at the start of every round and freeze randomly

  • Notgavin8 Not gavin :) (@Notgavin8) reported

    @JadedCarry Im the guy from your overwatch game did you get ddos

  • FoxmarineTweets Foxmarine (@FoxmarineTweets) reported

    Had to uninstall Overwatch 2. Connectivity issues were just too much.

  • Clocked0 Clocked (@Clocked0) reported

    @slutcorpse_ No, I'll probably never touch it. Only reason I care is because it was promised. Blizzard said they were going to redefine what it meant to be a sequel and hyped up the PvE, only for them to release a buggy live service patch to Overwatch 1.

  • Rippeh3 Passionfruit (@Rippeh3) reported

    @PlayOverwatch take the hero out the the battle pass or at least make it lv15 not lv55 didnt you say blizzard that you were going to hear and talk to the players more with overwatch 2. was that a lie? high store prices 20$ for old skins that some people got for free. the ranked system is broken

  • soupsquash MLE 🧃🐛 (@soupsquash) reported

    manifesting an ow gamer squad. the problem is that i would have to interact with overwatch players

  • MoDestVolgare Mo'Dest (@MoDestVolgare) reported

    Overwatch 2 will literally crash mid ranked game then punish you for it!

  • ziggyowl ZiggyOwl (@ziggyowl) reported

    Since people in overwatch think I am the problem and suck at the game. From now on when I show a clip. I am going to say won against pros in bronze. I mean it can't be a lie if people say I suck right lol.

  • A_Chaos_Wooloo Eris, a Kinky Wooloo🐑 (@A_Chaos_Wooloo) reported

    @NonBinEri Yeah but games like Doom 2016 on max difficulty (which is absolutely frenetic) or Overwatch never gave me any issue whatsoever And games like The Talos Principle, which is a very slow paced puzzle game, gives me a massive headache

  • Emerald_Lashura 💚Vexina Bloodfallen🩸 (@Emerald_Lashura) reported

    Update, I was DDOS out of my game of Overwatch 2 and stream. Seeing how everything else is working. Like I can text and call in Discord and watch YouTube on my computer. Meaning some ******* couldn’t handle losing in a game and decided to DDOS me. God I hate people.

  • Someone_TC Someone (@Someone_TC) reported

    @jayjaymarinn @TheTrueVanguard @FragnificentKW That would be valid if it wasn't for the fact that the number have been bad all season long even since befor mw2 and overwatch came out All it did was exasperate the issue.

  • Vennoxie Venoxxie (@Vennoxie) reported

    I swear, Blizz wants to give me a heart attack sometimes. The friend list glitch on Overwatch where it says I ain't got friends & I have to restart the game to see it. Then when I start bnet for a good 15 seconds it's like "You have no friends! Add some!" then it finally loads.

  • sakitsue nick (@sakitsue) reported

    the worst part about overwatch 2 is that at its core it is a very fun game, so even with all the issues it has i want to play more

  • LyfIntheFastlan Troggboss (@LyfIntheFastlan) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Any updates on the Bronze 5 glitch in #Overwatch 2? I'm stuuuuuck.* *It's possibly where I belong - but I'm still definitely stuck

  • MorbidZach Zachary (@MorbidZach) reported

    @LEGDAY I’ve had this same issue since Overwatch 1. It comes and goes but it’s totally ruined my ranked play
